What Men & Women NEED To Know About The Menstrual Cycle | Dr. Mindy Pelz 

Sharing personal information with anyone outside of your relationship opens women to harassment.

No thanks, people again don't understand the doors they opening ... Just like when they bring the rainbows and unicorns, they didn't see it coming, but was planned... Poor unicorns. Only if you understand consequences!!

@@aldastroud9671 If you are using Unicorn symbolism in reference to the mysteries, then it would seem so...

The amount of 'general health advice' out there that is actually female health advice.... Males and females are opposite, not the same.

that really great thanks for that conversation. i like that

and then when it comes to having a baby, it should happened NOW, and they have no idea about preparation (heavy metal and chemical detox, increasing minerals, testing for nutritional deficiencies) six - 8 months beforehand much less when they ovulate. It is a type of literacy that is really missing.

Dude I'm still learning about my cycle and I'm over 30 lol.

​@@consciouspreconception334I feel that most women actually seek medical advice when trying to have a baby, or read up about it, particularly if they've been struggling to fall pregnant. They then find out about their cycle and when they should be trying to get pregnant.

Yes! The comments under this video prove that. I see so many fellow women spreading myths and misinformation and other women taking their word for it. 😩

Bcuz no one really teaches this unfortunately

👏 Thank you for saying the quiet parts out loud.

Men can't have babies? Been hearing other things lately. Lol

Not the super power bit but I strongly agree with everything you said! So important

@@4651adri why wouldn't you agree that carrying and creating human life is a superpower? It truly is.

Nahhh this world still has Russia, Middle east & some numbered countries in South asia. They still recognize & acknowledge the true biological diff between MALE & FEMALE

I heard that heavy PMS is actually a condition, called PMDD (can't remember exactly what it stands for...) and one of the symptoms can be suicidal thoughts during the week before your periods. Mama Doctor Jones (obgyn on yt) talks a little about it so I would definitely recommend 😊

And what NO ONE addresses really (though she touched a tiny bit on this in the video) is the REAL reason why you would feel homicidal. Which is, you are in CONSTANT go mode and operating strictly on masculine energy. Unless you REGULARLY take REAL breaks during your down time, like during menstruation, I mean when you do NOTHING! And wait for your energt to rise back up naturally, instead of popping pills and march on through busy, hectic, unsustainable lifestyle we are all living in these days, I PROMISE you, you won't feel as suicidal or homicidal.

​@@LeaCy-fm1wmI'm here rn 😂 just woke up questioning the purpose of life and immediately had to go check what day of my cycle it is.

You can get killed in those moments. Just know that. Respect and proper distance not managed when your Ill or merging into into a cycle 🔄 this powerful, can trigger fight or flight. Unselected males are not your protectors or your punching bags.

Homicidal and suicidal 😭

Is emotional intel another way of saying social awareness ?

@@chumauyamadu2053not necessarily. It also refers to how well someone can understand and regulate their own emotions, in addition to being more socially aware and understanding the emotions of others.

@@faith1034 fair enough

'Emotional intelligence' doesn't exist there's just intelligence. If you disagree then explain the difference.

@@FutureDictator69 There are so many kinds of intelligence, there is spatial intelligence where you can intuitively move and understand shapes in 3d space, verbal intelligence where you are very skilled at communicating ideas in words, musical intelligence, social intelligence where you are skilled at controlling social situations... Emotional intelligence is where you are aware of your feelings and other people's feelings, and are able to mange them. An emotionally intelligent person will get angry, recognize they are angry, and then be able to implement a strategy to manage their anger, or understand what is happening when someone else is angry and not let the other person's emotions negatively impact them or make broad judgements about someone just for being angry, and even help that other person manage their emotions. Just because you are a master logician doesn't mean you are good at every task that requires intelligence or could have achieved success in that field.

Stop generalising

Nah day 3 is the earliest. Day 2 is still bad. Day 3 is when it becomes somewhat bareable.

I agree

@@MondscheinelfeTell that to the woman being interviewed.

@@Lucy-mq2ho and we can also get ill, and there could be bad weather...🙂

It's not sexist to acknowledge it, but in my experience, men mostly acknowledge it in a sexist way. Many of us have had our cycle is used as a reason to brush off our thoughts and concerns. Hopefully, the people this video reaches uses it appropriately.

@@mikochild2 that's just the thing. If even women who go thru the experience don't feel secure, aware and empowered enough in knowing who we are in our natural patterns and cycles, the patriarchal outer world gets the say on what our moods mean. My cycles destroyed my relationships until I understood what I needed to be doing for myself. Then it became a source of power. Girls should be taught much much more than how to use a tampon. Our monthly moon cycle is a magical life-creating wonder ❤️

@kookaburrafabulous yes girls need to know. Girls knowing things don't always change how men treat them though. So again, hopefully the men who use this use it for good.

The part that's sexist is 1) When ppl try to tell you how you're supposed to feel depending on your cycle when the fluctuations of moods don't apply to all women. Some of us just don't experience PMS 2) When men in our lives(most not even knowing our cycle) try to blame PMS for their own culpability

We blurred the lines between Man and Woman, so now everything is sexist--when her statement was true.

Girl, my thoughts exactly! You better miss me on day 1, 2 or 3...I need time to heal up and feel better to have a rational discussion

EXACTLY! my life flashes before my eyes on day 2 and even 3. wtf is she talkin abt.... i hate all men on day 2..3

I thought she said in the beginning that day 1-2 are the ones when exactly NOT to talk to a woman during her cycle cause that's the heaviest bleeding. But yeah I'm with you girls, day 2 is usually horrible 🫡🥲

Yeah she clearly don't have a period because 1-3 are the worst and I don't want anyone bothering me 😂😂😂😂

I'm married 31 years, everyday is 1,2 or 3 nothing else!!

Might be the men you surround yourself with

I wish that too! Would be so much better if it was recognized as a normal part of life for us to work around our cycles.

to me this is actually the biggest issue in the modern workplace that makes it uninclusive to women. there is an underlying expectation that women need to behave like men to be perceived as successful in the workplace, when in reality our bodies literally go through this 28-32 cycle program whether we like it or not. it is immensely draining to mask it and hide it. the workplace will always be a hostile place for women until this is fully embraced and addressed. women MUST be allowed to be inconsistent, otherwise we are denying the reality of their bodies.

@@koalatea8126 denying our bodies which are linked to our INTUITION, which makes us powerful assets xo

Spain approve it something like that. Day off during your PMS

The fact that women doing get more sick days because we have to deal with painful and uncomfortable periods every month makes me sad, I remember sitting in my office cubicle so uncomfortable just counting the minutes I could go home and lay in bed

Hi, my period is still regular. I use to have my periods for 3 days but now it's 5 days and first two days very heavy. I think I use more sanity pads now than I use to. I can't wait for the day it ends forever. Menopause is what I am dreading most. 😁

@charlenejulius8501 I'm almost 44, and I have 3/4 day periods, too. I started at age 12, so in many ways, I'm looking forward to not having a period anymore. I'm not looking forward to the dreaded hot flashes though. Good job I live in London where it's cold most of the year, I might save some money on heating bills if I'm always having a hot flash. 🤣🤣🔥

Does that means that there's a chance you can still get pregnant ??

No , I don't think so at my age. Maybe in my 40's yes but one still had to be careful. I can't fall pregnant because hubby had a Vastomy 28 years ago..Good question though

My husband also knows when my period is coming,it has resolved alot of the issues we used to have, he knows when to avoid me when am cranky and I have learnt to communicate with him, flowers when I am feeling crappy and when I am out of the 'slomp' ,we gonna have a gooooood time 🎉😂. I didn't realise the impact it was causing my family but now I completely get it😊

This is just a snippet of a 2 hour long interview which was excellent and I highly suggest watching the full interview. She mentions how in Spain, recently, they have passed legislation allowing women 3 day paid menstrual leave each month. Man that would be so nice to have!!

@@MapleLeafsGirl77 Thanks, I'll check that out. 🙂

My Daughter is living with Endo.. I've seen what that does to a Woman. Fertility problems and pain. This is a very big concern. Over a million women in the UK now suffer this dibilitating desease. Something is causing this.. I suspect the pill. 😢

I’ve been living with endo for six years and only started taking birth control earlier this year so I don’t know how that would have caused it. Suspiciously though my grandmother and aunt also suffered with uterine problems. It’s almost as if it’s mainly caused by genetics 🤔

​@@MapleLeafsGirl77while I feel that would be a great idea for women with diagnosed menstrual disorders, it's completely unnecessary for the average woman. I have very heavy periods now and I'm terrified of leaks but up until I was around 30 years old, there would have been zero need for me to be taking 3 days off work on my period. A couple of ibuprofen and permission to slip off to the bathroom when needed would have been absolutely the height of it.

WOW. Do you have some more information about this? Or point me into some direction? Your comment made me realize some things about myself in terms of daily struggles.

Source?

Ty so much for this

Do they have cramps during that time?

@@purplelove3666 well, there is epididymal hypertension, otherwise known as blue balls. Essentially, an extended period of sexual tension without release causes buildup, which is actually very painful. Note that for men, there will be situations where men get random erections, so this can be a problem more often than one might think.

Omg, it's brutal!!

That cant be normal 😮

My gf got her period after 17 days conveniently the day we’re supposed to get together

Yeah actually 21-27 is most common from what i read in medical literture. 32-38 less common but normal as well. I went from 38 to 25 as i moved closer to menopause age.. so it gets shorter as you age i guess

my roommate in college had a 15 day cycle. mine is 35 days. there’s more variability than what she mentioned for sure!

Aaaah Nat hey!

Wish women took time to understand men's hormones and how it ain't that deep when we smash some random.

Yeah, everybody, a round of applause for men doing the bare minimum 👏

​@@J040PL7😂

​@@ametbealWho hurt you?

Why doesn't this have more upvotes? Everyone's mileage varies

Aren’t u just lucky!

For me it happens once every two months! One month, the week before my period I feel totally down, sad, crying, my self steem goes to the floor, I feel the most ugly stupid useless woman. And I can identify its just because of my period. Then next month same week I feel totally ok, then next month comes back the down feeling... I learned for me it is a cycle.

I think it's also affected by our mental state and environment as well. I honestly thought I had PMDD from August to December last year because I had never experienced PMS so badly before, I had so many thoughts of if I would die and it really was unbearable, I thought I was going through early menopause and it scared me because I'm 30 and have no kids I worried that I will never be a mother. It was because of this that I learned so much about my own cycle. But I'm back to normal again 🙏🏼😊I've made some life changes since then and I no longer feel that bad during my lutheal phase.

"fake" balls?

7 days, ha. I really should get back to the doctor.

My shortest period ever was 11 days… multiple doctors told me this was “normal”. Over 5 years in I was finally diagnosed with PCOS

Mine lasted 10 days in the first years of my period. It decreased to 7 days after 4 years. Now I am 26 and it is 5 days. It is totally normal. I hope that you will find a better doctor. Gaslighting girls and women are so common in medical field.

3 days, wow. In my family ( me, grandmother's, mother sister's ) is around 5-6 days. That doctor needed to study more.

Most guys are getting heavy doses of estrogen in their daily diet. Soy is estrogen. After my historectomy they told me if I took estrogen I still had to come in for my yearly exam. I cut out soy. For men it is a chemical castration. Lowers their ability to produce testosterone and fertility. Enjoy all those junk foods and processed foods. Its like male birth control.

I completely agree with you! And the crap food we eat daily is something to consider as well. Definitely alters hormone levels

The same can be said for most Americans, men and women. We would not need many of these meds if we had proper nutrition. Gut bacteria affects our hormones as well, thus our moods. This is why you should not get psyche meds from the same doctor who prescribes you eczema cream. Unfortunately due to how the American health care system is set up, many have no choice. When my uncle died my dad was depressed. The doctor suggested anti depressants to help him get through it. It was only after a month of grieving. Imagine telling someone they should take meds for a proper human reaction. Training is overlooked for the sake of saving money.

In the case you bring up it is the hormone insulin. People don't realize when you eat a high carb diet those high blood sugar and high insulin levels adversely affects the brain, mood and body.

Prisoners most likely have high testosterone, that's why why they're so aggressive

Hello Rebecca, can you pls share with me how you got to know.

Hi @@anastasiaogomaka3717, are you asking how I know when I can and cannot get pregnant? If so the simple explanation is that while I headed towords ovulation (usually around day 21 for me, different for everyone) I have more cervical fluid and then after I ovulate my basal body temperature goes up around 0.5*F and I don't have so much CF any more. There is more science to this but that's the basics.

It was nfp first

Hard agree! It’s the whole point of ovulation lol

@@lygiabird6988 😆 exactly

Yes, you have to be careful during this time, since pregnancy is most likely ;).

@@thinkoutsidethebox8456…”Be careful “?? you can certainly be careful, but many women are trying to get pregnant during that time.

totally. it COULD be an innocent question, but most of the time it’s asked in a condescending way. when a guy says it it feels like “oh, are you having that Girl Problem that i don’t actually care to know anything about”

It’s intrusive and unnecessary

I love the term " ex-communicate them from my life". ☺

It's even more messed up when another woman says it.. definitely ex communicate with them 😂

Yes, it is very nice to se a person saying " ohh, I can be careful of that to help my girlfriend and relationship? One second, I need to note that "

As a guy it is almost like people hide this information away.I understand it would be a uncomfortable conversation but it is way too important to be completely ignored

I didn’t realize how my husband didn’t know anything about my cycle hormones for years. Wish I would have explained it to him right away in our marriage

Most women don't speak or don't want to speak on these types of topics so it's harder to get insight when no one wants to give it you

This judging men comes from a gender who says don't judge anyone. Height of hypocrisy

Most moms don't even know this.. So we who do, need to educate those who don't. 😊

I'm 28 and I'm not starting to keep track of my cyrcle on a app, I cam even add my mood and if I have any symptoms like headache or if I'm super tired. I will also treach my daughter about this (she is still a Baby at the moment) and my son

What? Teach? When I told my mum I had my 1st cycle, the first thing she said don't throw the tampons/ towels through the toilet, it's embarrassing to call the plumber for this".There is no mention of any education about it.

I'm a senior citizen now but my mom told me at age10, and told me correctly. She had Been uneducated about it (European and not discussed back then) but my dad explained it all to her. He got his info as an enlisted military msn. Bless the Military.

Female teachers can teach this too.

HARPA missed the whole flipping video

I agree! I would hate to have a boss and co-workers put up their menstrual chart with instructions on how I am to interact with them each day of the month and even worse, i would hate to be expected to post my own menstrual chart for everyone to see. I’m in my 50’s and have been able to work and work with women without us ever even hinting about our menstrual cycles. We worked based on social standards of etiquette not based on ever changing cycles. We women are adults capable of regulating our behavior and emotions despite cycles.

I agree

She's not talking about tiptoeing around us, she's talking about being more comprehensive...

@@bluemoon4944 if you have calendars up with your cycle and expectations of how people should treat you through each step of the cycle then that is tiptoeing. Based on her calendar for one full week people have to lavish her with pampering. Isn’t that narcissistic? For another week no one should address problems with her (unrealistic expectation), and only one week can people expect her to be fully productive in work and only one week can people expect her to really be happy and one week the men in her he office have to keep their heads down because she is going to feel in full bloom with seduction. That’s just her cycle but what about a whole office of women? But wait she did say maybe she should hang HER cycle in the office for staff to see which shows her narcissism of wanting people to cater to her she doesn’t seem to care about everyone else’s cycle. That would be too much trouble. What she is proposing is highly narcissistic, self indulging, entitling, and irresponsible. Yes husbands need to know wives have hormonal changes constantly flowing through the body but it is up to the wife to regulate them just like it’s up to the man to regulate his testosterone rush when he sees a young beautiful woman in a miniskirt or it is his responsibility to regulate his testosterone when someone cuts him off in traffic, says something rude to him in the store, or when his kids argue or accidentally dent the car. Men and women both have hormones we have to deal with. Are women going to excuse a man when he lets his aggressive testosterone get out of control? Are women going to use the week in their cycle when they feel down and bloated to pamper the man because his testosterone is running high and needs a week of pampering and sx?

@@stst77 Yes, it did come across to me as narcissistic. As a woman, I would be embarrassed!

❤

This has been my experience too. Im 37 & stopped the pill, so ny period went from 4 days/week to 6-7 with worse symptoms, heavier bleeding & more fatigue. My friend told me thats normal.

​@@ThatWeLoveMindy said few women know what their cycle is. I would argue, even fewer know the pill messes that cycle up. From what I understand, it basically tricks the body into thinking it's pregnant.

My daughter has recently gone low carb for her husband’s health issues but has found she benefits so much. Her pain has almost disappeared & her heavy bleeding has lessened to a manageable flow.

Same here! I've got my yearly soon, gonna be asking for Progesterone only pill. I began experiencing migraines a few years ago. After cutting alcohol completely, hydrating, and keeping track- still comes around 1x a month... Can you guess when? I feel insane, too. These doom and gloom mood swings the week before is unforgiving and at times puts me behind 2-3 days. Everything is uglier, out of each, depressing, etc. So I'm trying the Progesterone only pill first (estrogen is likely cause for hormonal migraines). And if that doesn't work, I might quit the pill, but I'm not ready at 31 after being on it for 16 years... A bit scared to stop :( I feel like I don't know myself as it is. Who knows how I'll feel off the pill 😮

Even worse if that happens to be true

To some men it is a joke. You get references to ‘time of the month’, ‘moody blues’, and other put downs.

Not just blood loss...THE PAIN!! Those menstrual cramps are HORRIFFFICCC!!!!

@@kim_i_said6598There shouldn’t be that much pain. Your hormones may need some help being regulated, through diet change or herbs. A combination of both healed my endometriosis and extreme cramps. And also if you have a good diet, the blood loss should not cause a noticeable effect on your energy levels or ability to focus

​@@faithofamustardseed8198 I struggle with extreme cramps. What herbs have helped you? I've been introducing kimchi and fermented foods in my diet in an effort to help myself. Any other recommendations please?

That’s why god wanted you to lead to support women? What kind of sexist statement is that? Good thing they care and try to help to make things better but men aren’t on earth ‘to save women’.

@@brittanycrosby6859 I recommend anything that thins your blood, foods high in vitamin E, or vitamin E itself, and avoiding things that thicken your blood, like sugar, for at least a week before (you would have to keep a calendar). Your body is squeezing extra hard , that's what the cramps are. The blood should just, flow out of you.

Day 2 can be brutal for some women though.

Day 15 for peak creativity too.

Mine is super horny the last days before period.

unless you're me and you never know when your most painful days begin (even though it may have started about a week ago) and how long it will last this time :(

@@lavienestpasunlongfleuvetr2559 Oh yes!!! My period lasts for almsot 7 days, so days 2-4 are horrible: lots of pain, lots of bleeing, total absence of energy. Don't talk to me during that time as I'm very sad and in a lot of pain.

Me too ❤ the week before I am really weepy and a couple of days before I get a lot of suicidal thoughts and rage.

check what you are eating. It may be coming from something external, such as food, that is causing an even greater imbalance in your hormones that there needs to be, causing it to go from extreme highs to extreme lows.

This is called PMDD and there absolutely are other options. It has been my experience (living with PMDD for 20 years), that your best bet if you’ve tried birth control and SSRI’s as well as tweaks to your lifestyle (diet and exercise), and either don’t see improvements or don’t want to be on bcp’s or ssri’s long-term is to seek out an integrative or functional medicine doctor (someone with some traditional medical training and naturopathic training). They will do the actual work of looking at your hormones and vitamins/minerals etc that could contribute to your sensitivity to those fluctuations of your hormones leading up to your period. For me, my progesterone - while not technically deficient - was low in relation to my estrogen levels causing me extremely debilitating anxiety/paranoia, depression, body dysmorphia etc. It is likely I’ve had low progesterone my whole adult life as supplementing with it eliminated 98% of my symptoms. I can’t begin to explain how useless “traditional” medical doctors have been in treating it. It took me until 27yo to get a diagnosis and then another 7 years of trying all the “first line” treatments (birth control and SSRI’s - neither of which help, and I can’t tolerate birth control), before finally finding a doctor who discovered this progesterone to estrogen ratio discrepancy. Some women can’t tolerate progesterone, but it is my firm belief that it something feels wrong and is debilitating, than you’re right - something is WRONG. And it’s not your fault. Wishing you the best of luck 🙏

There are other options to fix pmdd

Have you tried homeopathy?

Very true. I also wouldn't want my cycle on a chart being shared with coworkers so they can blame all my behavior as a result of me being a slave to my hormones. I'd like to believe I'm a little more in control of myself than that!

I agree. It’s nice maybe for a husband to understand a bit to help us out, be encouraging or extra gentle when we’re down, because that’s just what we should do for one another, but I don’t feel like my spouse or family needs to tip toe around me, instead I can use the information to help me choose self care and self control I need to apply.

I agree with you to an extent. I think this is a great way for the people around us to give us grace instead it being them adjusting to us. As women, we carry so much on our own. This could be a great way to get the support we need from the people around us, just as we support them.

I'm not so sure she intimated that 'the world' needs to adapt to cycles, but just your partner.

​@@morganb8177she talked about informing her employees as well. I think that's why OP said this.

Same about the loss of pain after having kids.

@@ramonaneyrinck2292 it’s really strange. I never believed women who said they felt no pain but now I know it’s possible 😂 I might get the odd mild ache or discomfort but no really painful cramps and never require painkillers.

@@Aliciae411 Given that the uterus contracts to shed the lining during our periods similarily to how it contracts to deliver a baby, I wonder if the experience of childbirth could perhaps either 1- tone the uterus so that it is then more efficient in shedding the lining painlessly during periods, or 2- render the cramps of periods not perceived as painful any longer simply by comparaison. I don't know, merely theorizing... :) Also, again just my only slightly educated 2 cents, but if the progesterone dominated part of your cycle hits you so hard, I'm thinking maybe your body makes more than the average woman (either you are progesterone dominant... or just more sensitive to it), and you could perhaps benefit from including flax seeds to your diet on those days. Flax seeds are considered a phyto-estrogen (meaning they mimic estrogen in our body), so they could help balance out any "excess" progesterone that may be causing your low mood post-ovulation... Again, I do not know this positively, but I know that for myself (not enough progesterone in relation to estrogen), I have to be very careful eating flax seeds the week before my period is due, lest it has been known to come early. So reverse engineering my personal experience, I'm hypothezing that in your case, they might help... :)

@@JayeMallard619 I think it has to do with, before children, the cervix and tissue is tighter and the uterus has to work hard to shed what is in it. After childbirth, things have stretched a bit, so the uterus does not have to work as hard to shed the lining and push it through the cervix.

@@truthnotlies I don’t think that’s accurate. In most cases everything shrinks back to pre pregnancy shape and size like it’s supposed to. Probably due to the body having experienced much bigger and difficult contractions during birth that menstruation is easy compared to that and it knows what to do better

sounds like you struggled with pmdd

Diet makes the higgest difference in my monthly mood. Had a time eating all the junk food then was ready to quit my job and jump off a building. Whole food high fiber diet and havent had a spell since. Not to mention the lack of cramps.

TV journey wtf you on

Same! It has changed my life, no exaggeration.

Good for you teaching your boys about how to respond to a menstruating woman. Eventually they will have wives in their lives and they will already be taught how to respond.

That's why communication with your partner is so important.

As a man , it is our choice and be independent women and don't judge man if they don't know about periods. Have I used those words that you women preach men ?

You don't bleed for 2 weeks

​@Cold Blooded Some of us DO bleed for 2 weeks and the rest of the time we're dealing with anaemia and symptoms of PMS.

As a woman I am the same. To have to post your menstrual cycle in the work place so people know how to treat you is just wrong. I also don’t want a marriage where my husband and children have to make my cycle the center of the home. That’s the epitome of selfishness to me to expect one week my family has to tip toe around me and another week everyone has to lavishly pamper me, etc. I don’t want a husband like that so why should a man want a wife like that? This is a bunch of rubbish.

I agree (as a woman) unless it's some physical work. It can be really hard if you're having bad cramps.

Agreed

I'm reading through the comments and don't understand why this isn't taught in school. I learn all about men and women businesses at 14.

Yes a lot of women have that. That is why i jate such a conversations, because the man now gonna think she has her period around 30 days. Plus i women use birth control...

You met any men who show empathy. In the last days men shall be lovers of themselves. We be in the last days. And if they do it is only till they put that ring on your finger then they change. Immediately they start thinking they made a mistake and then just to fulfill their doubts they start behaving in a self fulfilling of those doubts. Listen to this women you will be leaving with 6 kids in tow.

Better fathers? You mean for their daughters? BETTER SONS? LOL. No that goes way too far. Sorry I just don't see that at all. But feel free to enlighten me how a son needs to be cautious of their mothers' menstruation cycle.

@@SevenTheMisgiven If someone you love has needs you don’t understand it’s supportive and loving to learn more. The hormone fluctuations. The pains of cramping. Feeling more sensitive. Its absolutely supportive to understand these needs better. My husband is incredibly supportive and nurturing to my health and I to his and us to our kids and parents. Menstruation is part of women’s health and deserves respect. But you do you dear.

@@angelalawsonspiritualreadi2010 Personally I think you're just describing general empathy. But why not. :)

What a condescending tone. Get a clue ffs.

True

I literally just realized I get my period during the new moon. I felt so coool! Lol When the moon is dark I’m dark and when the moon is bright I’m bright lol
